One of the best collections of ensemble music we had with our faculty brass quintet was Bach chorales. Before every rehearsal we regularly played through one or two chorales to center our pitch and begin to listen to each other as an ensemble. This is the best way to start your rehearsals to warm up.
This collection includes the following chorales-
Ach Gott, vom Himmel seih’ darein, Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ, An Wasserflussen Babylon, Aus meines Herzens Grunde, Aus tiefer Not schrei’ ich zu dir, Christ lag in Todesbanden, Christus, der ist mein Leben, Ermuntre dich, mein schwacher Geist, Es ist das Heil uns kommen her, Freuet euch, ihr Christen alle, Ich dank’ dir, Heber Herre, Jesu, nun sei gepreiset, Nun lob’, mein Seel’, den Herren, O Herre Gott, dein gottlich Wort, Puer natus in Bethlehem.
This collection of 15 complete Bach chorales will fill your need for great ensemble material and can be used as we did to warm up or used them on a concert of Bach material.
